First, the ST2500 becomes the hottest thing in PV since the SW.
Next, ST2500 demand exceeds production.
Next, ST2500 has software problems.
Next, Xantrex is "experiencing a shortage of vendor supplied parts"
and shipments stop.
Next, Xantrex tries to get us to switch to the derated ST2000-CB.
Then, Xantrex announces the XR2500 at $2759 with nearly the same specs
as the $2500 ST2500.
Meanwhile, we are told ST2500 inverters are still being produced and
to continue to take customer orders.
However, I am waiting for ST2500 inverters that I ordered since April
4. (How long are you back-ordered without ship dates?)
And now we are told that the XR2500 "will be available for delivery
by July 1."
Question - Will Xantrex, SMA, AES, etc. please explain their plans to serve the 100 watt to 10 kilowatt grid tied non-battery market so vendors can make their plans?

Has any of you figured out what the XR stands for on the new SunTie inverter?
From the price increase I've seen it must stand for "Xtra Ruples".eXtra Recalls
eXtra Returns
eXcess Recrimination
eXtra Responsibility
eXtra Repairs
eXcessive Restrictions
That's probably enough, I'll be hearing from their lawyers next week.
